Cringe worthy stories!

Ok so weirdest situation this week for me is while txting SO’s mother she asked if she can sponge bath the baby, I tell her very nicely he’s not a big fan of the sponge bath so he might feel more safe with me. Then she goes on to say how she can help with his first real bath by taking a bath with my baby and handing him off when he’s done, she said she doesn’t mind me seeing her nude because she’s not modest. 😣 I’m cringing all throughout my mind and body. I want to give my baby his first bath and I super don’t feel comfortable with nude people. Feel free to share your cringe worthy stories!

I don't have any personal ones, but your post reminds me of the BHB post about a woman who had black, oozing sores on her vagina, and instead of going to a doctor, she had her MIL (mother-in-law) look and take pics for her. That post was maybe a week ago, and I'm still cringing over it.

Oh heck no. That's weird. Idk if this is cringy or just irritating. When I was in the hospital after giving birth to my baby, I was laying there half dead and the oldest nurse in the room (she was old af ok) started flirting with my boyfriend. She didn't even give my baby to me or show her to me, she just gave the baby to my boyfriend, let him do skin to skin, and was explaining to him how my baby's labia color is so pretty and it's going to be her skin color (false bc hers is like mine and her labia is darker than her skin color) and she continuously flirted with him until we got into recovery where she gave him a hug and said good job to him and I didn't exist.

I would be side eyeing the hell out of anyone who wanted to get naked with my children. Who in their right mind actually thinks its okay to not only take a first experience away from a parent but not see an issue with asking to get naked with a child that isnt their own.

I’d put your story into the cringe catagory.... gosh old people can be weird.

After I gave birth I bled alot and I was delirious, doctor #1 was telling doctor #2 that she needed to go and change because her scrub is covered in blood ... I asked her “my blood? Please keep is as a keepsake “ 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ WTF

Why tf did she feel the need to comment on your child’s labia and not only that, but call it “pretty”? Not ok and so inappropriate. I hope you complained. Especially since she didn’t give the baby to you.

I complained definitely. I complained about the whole experience. I could write an essay about how terrible that hospital was and everything they did to me. She was just disgusting though.

Your 5-month-old: Week 1

Your baby can't express his emotions in the same complex way you can. Although he can clearly let you know when he's happy or unhappy, his ability to demonstrate his love and sense of humor is just developing.

Your 5-month-old: Week 2

Your baby may start showing signs of one of her first major emotional milestones â€” stranger anxiety. She may become clingy and anxious around new (and even familiar) people and may cry if a stranger suddenly approaches her.

Your 5-month-old: Week 3

Your baby's getting better at spotting very small objects and tracking things that are moving. At this point, he may be able to recognize an object after seeing only part of it - like his favorite toy peeking out from under a blanket.
